According to our information, this would be a false alarm. Contrary to what several corroborating sources, including a member of the Duchère barracks, we had affirmed, the material contained in the envelope would only be sand. The letter would be accompanied by a word riddled with misspellings stipulating that the sand was “magic powder”. It could be a card of a child wanting to thank the firefighters and wish them happy holidays.

Anyway, the head of the barracks, Xavier Eginard, has to confine himself while awaiting the results due to the analysis of the suspicious powder. Contacted, the prosecution did not respond to our appeal.

Initial of the article:

This Tuesday morning, a strange letter arrived at the Duchère fire station. Intended for Lieutenant-Colonel Xavier Eginard, the latter was filled with gunpowder.

The name of the sender is still unknown, but it is possible that this act is linked to the recipient’s recent declaration of support for Eric Zemmour for the presidential election of 2022.

Indeed, Xavier Eginard is fully part of the Rhône section of Reconquest !, the new party of the former journalist. The firefighter was also present, alongside Agnes Marion and Gérard Dezempte, during the party’s first press conference in Lyon.

The man said: “I think there is an emergency, an emergency that took me out of my comfort zone. ” It was the increase in insecurity that had finally convinced the soldier of the fire: “look what will happen on december 31, it should revolt us all“, took for example the one who dreams of”democracy and peace“.

An investigation is underway.
